Summary:
This diff refactors the view update process into two stages:
1. The `reactSubviews` array is set, whose order matches the order of the JS components and shadowView components, as specified by the UIManager.
2. The `didUpdateReactSubviews` method is called, which actually inserts the reactSubviews into the view hierarchy.
This simplifies a lot of the hacks we had for special-case treatment of subviews: In many cases we don't want to actually insert `reactSubviews` into the parentView, and we had a bunch of component-specific solutions for that (typically overriding all of the reactSubviews methods to store views in an array). Now, we can simply override the `didUpdateReactSubviews` method for those views to do nothing, or do something different.

Summary:
Previously, if a module implemented `setBridge:` we assumed that it needs to be initialised on the main thread. This assumption was not really warranted however, and it was a barrier to deferring module initialization.
This diff tweaks the rules so that only modules that override `init` or `constantsToExport**` are assumed to require main thread initialization, and others can be created lazily when they are first used.
WARNING: this will be a breaking change to any 3rd party modules that are assuming `setBridge:` is called on the main thread. Those modules should be rewritten to move any code that requires the main thread into `init` or `constantsToExport` instead.
`**` We will also be examining whether `constantsToExport` can be done lazily, but for now any module that uses it will still be created eagerly when the bridge starts up.

Summary: Using customDirectEventTypes or customBubblingEventTypes causes a viewmanager to be initialized at app start. This diff deprecates those methods and removes their usage from RCTScrollViewManager.

An option to create a different view based on passed in props is no longer necessary.
I'm removing it, since the idea of creating a view based on set of initial properies is a bit flawed, since we cannot change it to another view later when props are changed.
(This API really made sense mostly in case where some of the props on component were not meant to be changed later, which is a bit weird limitation on a prop.)

Summary: public
The `bridge.modules` dictionary provides access to all native modules, but this API requires that every module is initialized in advance so that any module can be accessed.
This diff introduces a better API that will allow modules to be initialized lazily as they are needed, and deprecates `bridge.modules` (modules that use it will still work, but should be rewritten to use `bridge.moduleClasses` or `-[bridge moduleForName/Class:` instead.
The rules are now as follows:
* Any module that overrides `init` or `setBridge:` will be initialized on the main thread when the bridge is created
* Any module that implements `constantsToExport:` will be initialized later when the config is exported (the module itself will be initialized on a background queue, but `constantsToExport:` will still be called on the main thread.
* All other modules will be initialized lazily when a method is first called on them.
These rules may seem slightly arcane, but they have the advantage of not violating any assumptions that may have been made by existing code - any module written under the original assumption that it would be initialized synchronously on the main thread when the bridge is created should still function exactly the same, but modules that avoid overriding `init` or `setBridge:` will now be loaded lazily.
I've rewritten most of the standard modules to take advantage of this new lazy loading, with the following results:
Out of the 65 modules included in UIExplorer:
* 16 are initialized on the main thread when the bridge is created
* A further 8 are initialized when the config is exported to JS
* The remaining 41 will be initialized lazily on-demand

Summary:
Currently, the system for mapping JS event handlers to blocks is quite clean on the JS side, but is clunky on the native side. The event property is passed as a boolean, which can then be checked by the native side, and if true, the native side is supposed to send an event via the event dispatcher.
This diff adds the facility to declare the property as a block instead. This means that the event side can simply call the block, and it will automatically send the event. Because the blocks for bubbling and direct events are named differently, we can also use this to generate the event registration data and get rid of the arrays of event names.
The name of the event is inferred from the property name, which means that the property for an event called "load" must be called `onLoad` or the mapping won't work. This can be optionally remapped to a different property name on the view itself if necessary, e.g.
RCT_REMAP_VIEW_PROPERTY(onLoad, loadEventBlock, RCTDirectEventBlock)
If you don't want to use this mechanism then for now it is still possible to declare the property as a BOOL instead and use the old mechanism (this approach is now deprecated however, and may eventually be removed altogether).
Summary:
Our events all follow a common pattern, so there's no good reason why the configuration should be so verbose. This diff eliminates that redundancy, and gives us the freedom to simplify the underlying mechanism in future without further churning the call sites.
Summary:
Moved the view creation & property binding logic out of RCTUIManager into a separate RCTComponentData class - this follows the pattern used with the bridge.
I've also updated the property binding to use pre-allocated blocks for setting the values, which is more efficient than the previous system that re-contructed the selectors each time it was called. This should improve view update performance significantly.
